Proto-North-Dravidian : *as-r-
Meaning : to tremble
Kurukh : asrnā
Malto : asr-, asrān, asr-asr-āne "to hesitate"
Notes : See KR-17. In DEDR the Malto form is tentatively compared with Tam. ayir 'to suspect', etc., but it is hardly reasonable to separate it from Kurukh asrnā to which it corresponds perfectly. Number in DED : 37
